Exposure Context
This study used 0.205 mW/cm² for radio frequency:
- 20.5Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 341.7Kx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 0.0006 μW/cm²
Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
Where This Falls on the Concern Scale
Study Details
In this study, we explored the circadian effects of daily radiofrequency field (RF) exposure on reproductive functional markers in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats.
Animals in circadian rhythm (as indicated by melatonin measurements), were divided into several grou...
Via these measurements, we confirmed the existence of circadian rhythms in sham-exposed animals. How...
Thus, our findings indicate potential adverse effects of RF exposure on male reproductive functional markers, in terms of both the daily overall levels as well as the circadian rhythmicity.
